Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid widely used as the insecticide of choice in most countries because of its high activity against a broad spectrum of insect pests. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the histopathological and ultrastructural changes in the thyroid caused by deltamethrin, also to further evaluate the potential genotoxic ...

Lycopene and Vascular Health [PDF]
Lycopene is a lipophilic, unsaturated carotenoid, found in red-colored fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes, watermelon, papaya, red grapefruits, and guava. The present work provides an up to date overview of mechanisms linking lycopene in the human diet and vascular changes, considering epidemiological data, clinical studies, and experimental ...

The proportion of lycopene isomers in human plasma is modulated by lycopene isomer profile in the meal but not by lycopene preparation [PDF]
Dietary lycopene consists mostly of the (all-E) isomer. Upon absorption, (all-E) lycopene undergoes isomerisation into various (Z)-isomers. Because these isomers offer potentially better health benefits than the (all-E) isomer, the aim of the present study was to investigate if the profile of lycopene isomers in intestinal lipoproteins is affected by ...

Excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause a state of oxidative stress, which result in sperm membrane lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and apoptosis, leading to decreased sperm viability and motility. Elevated levels of ROS are a major cause of idiopathic male factor infertility, which is an increasingly common problem today. Lycopene, the

Tissue Distribution of Lycopene in Ferrets and Rats after Lycopene Supplementation [PDF]
To determine lycopene uptake and tissue distribution in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and F344 rats, we supplemented orally 4.6 mg/(kg body wt.d) lycopene in a tomato oleoresin-corn oil mixture (experimental groups). After 9 wk of supplementation, the animals were killed and blood and organs were collected.

Dietary Carotenoids and Cognitive Decline: A Longitudinal Study Among Chinese Middle-Aged and Older Adults. [PDF]
Higher intake of dietary carotenoids was associated with slower cognitive decline. The strongest protective association was observed for moderate carotenoid intake. Total carotenoid intake exhibited a non‐linear association with cognitive decline. ABSTRACT Background This study examined the association between dietary intakes of total and specific ...
